The
Milwaukee Brewers continued their hot streak Tuesday night, cruising to a 7-1 victory over the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. After a successful 5-2 homestand, the Brewers kicked off their road trip in dominant fashion, winning their sixth game in the last seven.
Offense Ignites in the Third Inning
Both starting pitchers, Freddy Peralta for Milwaukee and Kyle Freeland for Colorado, opened the game with two scoreless innings. But the Brewers’ bats came alive in the third.
Back-to-back singles from Isaac Collins and Joey Ortiz set the table. After a groundout by Brice Turang moved them into scoring position, Jackson Chourio delivered a clutch two-RBI double to open the scoring. Chourio later stole third, setting up William Contreras, who recorded his first RBI of the season with a two-out single.
Rhys Hoskins and Sal Frelick followed with singles of their own, extending the inning and driving in another run for a 4-0 lead. Although Vinny Capra was robbed of a hit by Rockies shortstop
Ezequiel Tovar, the Brewers had already done serious damage.
